Linguine with Bacon and Chicken

in creamy blue cheese sauce

Cooking Steps

Boil the Pasta
1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the linguine.
  • When boiling, add the linguine to the water and bring back to the boil.
  • Cook until softened, 10-12 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
  • Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking. 

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Toast the Hazelnuts

  • Bash or roughly chop the hazelnuts.
  • Place a large pan over medium heat (no oil).
  • Once hot, dry-fry the hazelnuts until toasted, stirring regularly, 2-3 mins.
  • Remove from the pan and set aside.

TIP: Watch them closely—they can burn easily. Reserve the pan to use later.

Get Prepped
3
  • Roughly chop the mushrooms.
  • Chop the bacon rashers widthways into 1cm wide strips. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat.

TIP: Use scissors to cut the bacon if you prefer.

Time to Fry
4
  • Return the pan to high heat.
  • When hot, add the mushrooms and bacon.
  • Fry until browned, stirring occasionally, 6-8 mins. Season with salt and pepper.

NOTE: Adding diced chicken? Add to the hot pan with the mushroom and bacon, season as instructed and fry until cooked through, 8-10 mins.

Sauce it Up
5
  • Add the drained linguine and crumble in the blue cheese.
  • Stir until cheese is melted, 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook bacon thoroughly.
  • Remove from the heat and add the creme fraiche
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
